Mrs. Walker's Fruit Cake
This is a fruit cake for people who do not normally like fruit cake. If you happen to already like fruit cake, you will love this. Honestly, it is the best fruit cake I have ever tasted. It was handed down to me by a dear old lady who has now gone home to be with the Lord.
Stewed Cabbage
This is a family favorite that my mother-in-law fixed for me while I was visiting her home last year. Serve over white rice, if desired.
